New signing Matty Taylor came into the side to make his debut and Michael Jacklin returned to the starting line-up after recovering from injury as the Blues' back five put in a solid display, despite being reduced to 10 men following a red card for Jonathan Wafula.

“I thought it was a real positive performance,” added the Blues boss. “We were dogged, defensively solid and we got ourselves in the hat which was the most important thing.

“It was a dour game, we didn’t really look like we were going to score even though I thought we were the most dominant. We must have had 15 or 20 set-pieces but our quality just wasn’t good enough to go on and score.
